This was the start of the whole thing, and I think you can tell by the wobbly arches in the background. Lineart was done in real media, ink and paper, and then the picture was scanned and colored in Paintshop. I really ought to look up some tutorials on how to use it the way I want; this smooth, very softly shaded style isn't me at all.
This Is An Awesome Female Body Portrayal, I Love It! Im Not Gonna Pretend Like I Know A Lot About Conceptual Art, Cuz I Dont I Am A Poet, But I Can Give You An Opinion Through Words Very Easily, I Dont Know If You Meant To Or Even Thought About This While Drawing But, The Pipe The Woman Is Holding Is A Great Add To The Element, Back In Days Of Kings And When Women Wore Attire Like That Women Would Normally Not Smoke Unless Showing A Sign Of Power To An Individual, They Would Walk The Small Villages And Seduce Men Through The Smoke And Breath. Very Seductive Picture, Im Gonna Look For More From You! Keep It Up.
It's really ... bright, even though it's not, really. I like it. Her pose is so great.
The lines seem a little ragged again, though. Maybe a tutorial would be a good idea, especially for information on how to resize and save images so that you don't get many compression artifacts. Also, it might help you with making the lines jump out less from the page. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it looks a little as if they're floating above the picture (perhaps because of the compression) rather than being part of it.
Some variation of the line widths in the hair would make it look more like the rest of the picture. You have nice variation in her clothes, but her hair, which is similarly flowing, seems to be outlined with lines of mostly the same width.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
